Nope.

Buy u/d pulley kit pf your choice, then buy ford racing a/c delete kit....then run string around your pulleys, measure and go buy a belt in that length

I would go a little shorter belt then your string measurement. The tensioner will be unsprung when you get your measurement.

I'm not sure which kit Mustang5L5 is referring to. One kit uses a pulley to simulate the A/C compressor and another uses a brackets and it moves the tensioner when the compressor used to be. I have used both and had no problems out of either.

i would think using less pulleys would be better,, correct? i know there is no drag but still one more to go bad..

That's my way of thinking. Deletes are supposed to remove..not add

I like the tensioner relocation bracket that I got, but that's without using the stock alt. bracket:
